Too Sexy For Her Pompoms

Mena29_jpg_1 DVDs of American Beauty and Bring It On are going to be very, very popular in Texas. You see, Texas politicians have finally begun doing something about the local cheerleader problem, as they're way too ribald and sexy. The cheerleaders, people, not the politicians — try to stay with me here, OK?

So, after voting to install big-screen televisions in the legislature and watching 1,769 hours of gyrating-girls footage, the Texas House approved a bill banning "sexually suggestive" cheerleading routines.

"Girls can get out and do all of these overly sexually performances and we applaud them and that's not right," said Democratic Rep. Al Edwards of Houston, who filed the legislation. Edwards argued that lascivious exhibitions are a distraction for high school students that result in pregnancies, high school dropouts, contraction of AIDS and herpes and "cutting off their youthful life at an early age."

Jimmy Patterson of Sticky Doorknobs was good enough to get a response from the cheering squads and their fans.

Cheerleader supporters say the only options left for their girls will be to either stand perfectly still during the game, or text message their routines to fans who bring cell phones.

They want to force their views on others. If you can't see that, then you are blind.

30,000 Pot Users To Die Annually, UK Docs Say According to this article in the Guardian, which quotes an editorial in the British Medical Journal, Thirty thousand Britons a year might eventually die from cannabis smoking, doctors claimed. In other news, the physicians insisted that the sky might eventually turn green with purple polka dots, and also that they'll soon achieve cold fusion using only an umbrella and a two-pound bratwurst. That 30,000 Brits could die from pot every year year flies in the face of everything that's known about cannabis. The correct number is more likely close to zero, if the U.S. is any guide. And no, my source isn't Tommy Chong; it's the Centers for Disease Control. In a study that categorizes and tallies every single death...

Legalize It! (Catfishing, That Is) Noodlers are people who like to go fishing for 'cat.' Catfish, to be precise. They lower themselves into shallow rivers and get their fishing gear ready — that's their bare hands, in this case. Take Howard Ramsey, a noodler from Paris, Missouri. Once he locates a hole in the [river] bank, he will hold his breath and go underwater. Then, while a friend holds his ankles, he will swim into the hole headfirst. The catfish often meets him at the door, as he puts it. That's when things can get interesting. "When I grab that catfish by the jaw, I'll kick my legs to tell my buddy that it's time to pull me out," Ramsey said. "I've caught catfish as...
